I have a couple of questions about my Asus ROG Zephyrus. It’s been performing pretty well but recently while playing a game my CPU spiked to 90c… how can I prevent this in the future, and being a tech newbie can I do something to the internals to help cooling?

Also, how can I upgrade my ram? Am I able to add another stick? Does it have to be the same size as what’s currently in the computer?

    Search for teardown videos of the laptop, most probably that’s upgradeable, check if its running on single channel if it is then it might have another slot. About the ram size, most laptops are restricted to the motherboard capability so basically your motherboard dictates the maximum size you could put in it. Oh btw if its still within warranty, ask support if you could do it yourself, you might void warranty. Also, try to give it enough space to breathe or elevate the laptop for the cooling system to deliver enough air to the system. Don’t play when ambient temps are scorching.
